Classroom Environment

We recognize that the steady diversification of our student body in terms of race, gender, class, religion, disability, language, and sexuality requires us to

Evaluate and transform our teaching strategies as well as curricular offerings to create a departmental culture of debate, argumentation, and respectful disagreement.

Openly engage with debates about our discipline’s historical association with imperialism, with the implications of white privilege and power, and the racial politics of contemporary anthropology and our contemporary world.

Create classroom environments that make all students feel included and valued and that can be spaces of open and honest discussion and debate based in mutual respect.
